The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): House of Marionne (House of Marionne #1) by J. Elle

 

  

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader.  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader. 

Happy Friday everyone!  This week I'm spotlighting one of my Beat The Backlist 2025 books, House of Marionne (House of Marionne #1) by J. Elle.  I remember seeing this all over social media last year.  I hope this will be as good as it sounds.  I'll be starting this in April for my Magical Readathon: Orilium - Spring Equinox 2025.

Beginning:

Yagrin ran a finger along the blade and sucked in a deep breath.  He hated this part.

56:

"You're early." The voice comes from the entryway, or trick door, rather, just as a busty woman with an earthy complexion and slick, dark hair appears.
